Dr. Rajakumara Eerappa
Principal Investigator
Welcome to the Macromolecular Structural Biology Research Group at the Biotechnology Department, IIT Hyderabad. We use multi-pronged and complementary approaches, including structural (X-ray crystallography), computational/bioinformatics, biochemical & biophysical techniques that each feed into one another, to investigate the macromolecular-mediated recognition & characterization, validation of drug targets, catalysis & enzyme engineering, and inhibitors/drug/vaccine design.
Research Interests:
-
Structural Biology, X-ray Crystallography, Biophysics and Biochemistry, Computational Biology
-
Epigenetic and DNA repair
-
Allosteric cross-talk in modular proteins
-
Enzyme engineering, Catalysis and Synthesis of non-natural polymers
-
Drug target validation, drug and vaccine design
-
Phase separation and peptide hydrogel design
